  • Broad understanding of modern programming languages, leading frameworks, distributed system architectures (e.g., microservices), and the full software development lifecycle, including use of CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
  • Strong planning skills, with the ability to assign commercially robust estimates and work with delivery managers and Product Owners to align delivery plans with business objectives.
